The course will facilitate working with language expressively and creatively for pre-literacy and literacy. Topics include; strengthening receptivity to language for child and teacher through play and movement; building competency and confidence in the power of speech and expression through interactions, poetry, storytelling, and drama; understanding how language, rooted in movement and the breath, can develop cognitive abilities and and healthy enjoyment; working with the playful rhythms and expressive potential of language to build a social world that meets the emotional and imaginative life of the child; and learning to choreograph lessons in order to effectively integrate all of these elements. Nell is a Steiner Teacher and consultant with over twenty years experience, and the author of The Breathing Circle: learning through the movement of the natural breath
